THE GROOM John Newland 
THE DATE May 12
 
But Marielle was resourceful: she told their mutual friend Ben Holland she thought John was cute,
 with the intention that he would pass along the secret to John. Brian, who would later become
 the couple's best man, took the hint -- and so, apparently, did John. The couple dated throughout their
 college years and later became engaged

St. John‘s Episcopal Church, accessible by a one-way dirt road, is perched on a hill overlooking the valley. The peeling white paint, green tin roof, and all-wood interior offered a cozy, intimate setting for Marielle and John‘s short, personal ceremony.
"It was fun to come up with vows we felt really expressed how we felt about each other," says Marielle. The bride and groom asked their mothers to do short readings of their choosing. "John‘s mother read a passage from the Bible and my mother read an Apache poem," says the bride.
For the reception, the rustic interior of the barn was transformed into a light and airy wonderland: "We used a lot of glassware, candlelight, and organza table linens," says Marielle.
Marielle and John took their first dance to "I Wanna Be Loved By You" a la Marilyn Monroe, a song that‘s not really "theirs" but one that they both enjoy.
"The location truly decided the dress," says Marielle. "Given the rusticity of the surroundings, so many of the more popular designs would have looked decidedly out of place." With contrast in mind she chose an ethereal gown by Pronovias that was embellished at the bodice and had long, flowing bell sleeves made of gauze. Marielle felt a veil would have been too dramatic, and instead wore a tiara made of fresh white flowers.
